Full Database Backup
Hello all,

I use TeamDesk's Database to run our business and require some assistance in backing up all data within.

I have read through some of the TeamDesk documentation and found some information on exporting small amounts of information at a time into word/text documents with limited formatting. I am looking for a simple way to export and backup all tables and records, the business will be left without important documents and information on projects and clients that will leave us at a standstill without access to the online database for whatever reason may arise. If someone could assist me in any way or point me towards the information I require I will greatly appreciate it. If there is any information you may need from me I am happy to provide it.

Thank you in advance for the support

Hi Tyron

There is a backup/restore tool you can use that TD Supply

Thanks for the quick response, the GUI seems to be the way to go for me. I'm a little concerned as there are many media files contained within projects that may be filling up my SSD very quickly. Is there a way to only backup everything but the media table?

@Tyron Unfortunately, it's not possible to exclude a table during backup using **tdbackupwin**, but you can do so using the **td command line tool**:

-X=table-name, --exclude=table-name

This option allows you to exclude specific tables from backup or restore. You can use this option multiple times. For example:

td backup ... -X=Invoice -X=Item

This will back up everything except the **Invoice** and **Item** tables.
